Got to be that stupid ball steal by Kirmond on the 5th tackle on half way! 16-4 up and Saints creating nothing from Wilkins up and unders, so we gift them position on our 20 metre line. From then on we gave Roby repeated reason to hammer us until Saints had taken control of the game.
Dumb, dumb, dumb!

Do you mean knee in the play the ball? Was silly of Kirmond but you could equally say Riley's poor pass into touch with 2 yards away from try line at 16-8. Or Robys ability to spoil a good game.

Ill go with Roby.. Although we didn't perform like we should have in second half. My frustrations with inconsistent refs is what could have been? We could have still lost, even lost by more or we could snuck it or been another nail bitter. Referees can certainly ruin games and be game changers for the detriment

Try that went begging when Riley threw it too high for lynne was game changer for me

Going off what Agar just said on radio leeds, the gamechanger was steve ganson bollicking roby at half time.

Frustrating game as I thought we were the better side.
Before the game I said I'd be ok with us competing, once you see how close it was it is then frustrating we didn't get the win.

I would normally have a go at the players giving the penalties away but I felt the ref was very inconsistent today. Even the Sts fans near me were bemused, but of course happy.

If Riley finds Lynn with the relatively simple pass rather than throwing a brick over his head Wakefield I think go in to win the game.

Don't think we hardly touched the ball for 10 minutes and 2 maybe 3 tries after that.

Probably right, he got hit just as he passed it which caused it to go too high. Spilt second earlier and Lyne had a walk in, providing he caught it obviously.

Very strong comments if he's said that. If he can't back the accusation then I think he's in a little bother with the RFL.

Saints 1st try came from a scrum awarded after Roby and his touch judge (who was 3 yards away) failed to spot a ball steal.
Saints 3rd and 4th tries came on the back of penalties which we shouldn't have given away but which were no worse than he let Saints get away with several times.
The penalty given and on report for Lomax sliding into Lauitiiti was the most bizarre of all. Not sure what Ali was supposed to do to avoid it.

Some shocking officiating IMO today spoiled a really good game for us. Yes we also made mistakes like the Riley "pass" 3 feet over Lyne's head but given a fair crack I think we'd have actually won that game.

Roby was even more inept & one-eyed in the second half than he was in the first, and this was after Steve Ganson had been in for a chat? You mean Steve Ganson from St. Helens? Right.....

What a very childish comment. Do you go same school as agar ?

It was the high pass from Riley that changed everything. We never got back into the game after that, and we kept on messing up because we were chasing the game too hard.

am i the only one who thought riley didnt need to pass that ball i was bang in front of him and it looked like he could have got over himself.

When Vera Lyne failed pathetically to tackle someone who was stood upright with no momentum and managed to simply push her/him off before scoring the try. Lyne is consistent - garbage on arrival, garbage now and I would bet garbage for the rest of his career.

At risk of becoming another victim of your witty repartee, were you at the game?

Totally agree with you Slugger.
The ref was awful but, after we got pinged for holding down Masoa, we committed the exact same tactic on Amor and got penalised again.
We struggle to regain our composure when things start to go against us, just s we did against Salford (first half) and against Bradford.
I think we need to learn not to give back to back penalties which cost us both points and energy.

Having said that, the ref was shocking today.
How Ali could even be penalised (never mind put on report) for the Lomax incident is beyond me

The critisism of Lyne by some in here I find baffling. He once again in my opinion was one of Wakefields better players he has pace and genuine threat in attack.

There were plenty who should have prevented that try before it even got anywhere near Lyne being involved.

No, my old man said the same to me..

It was a lazy contact to the head, sadly according to the rules it is a penalty even though he was so near to the ground. He will not face further punishment. It's one of those penalties where it's more about protection of players even if strictly it is harsh on the offender.

Riley got cleaned out on passing the ball I think so think the pass was the option but was just executed poorly.

Your amazing. That is the most astonishing thing I have ever heard , I particularly liked the "once again" bit.

Not having this at all. He inspires no confidence in me in any aspect of his game, other than when he's put clean through - but that is a luxury we cannot afford.

Bless, the one-eyed rather ignorant Saints fan can't see the issue so resorts to desperate attempts to deflect from a serious problem by trying to be clever. I'd give up on that pal, it is way beyond your capabilities.

Sorry

Very short memories, some people

I hope we can show a bit more class when we're lucky enough to move to a new stadium.
